How to choose the right building.

Choosing the right building or multiple buildings for the program is critical to your success. The selection process should be based on both your personal experience and knowledge of the building and the specific building performance metrics we’ve created around every building.

Do you have the Experience? – The Building Expert program is a unique automated marketing program that exclusively connects you with hundreds of current and prospective building residents though a combination of online and offline tools. Since you will be marketed as the “expert” – buyers and sellers in the building will expect that you have a good working knowledge of building amenities, condo association dues and assessments, floor plans, units for sale and rent and recent sales. Do you possess this knowledge? Have you toured or completed transactions in the building?

Agents with personal building experience will always shine and succeed as the Building expert.

What do the Building Metrics say? – Every building on Condo.com has a set of metrics or data points to help guide your decision. The building detail pages all have a section titled Building Intelligence which showcases number of units, active inventory, days on market, recent sales and estimated resident income. Our most successful experts select buildings with a lot of available inventory and high turnover – indicating high activity. Agents also consider the number of units to maximize exposure to a big captive audience and prefer to be in front of 400 residents in a big building versus 50 residents in a boutique project.

Resident income levels and average unit prices are other data points to consider for agents looking to serve the moderate, luxury or super-luxury buyer and seller.

The key is finding a building where you are comfortable as the expert and which has buying and selling activity.
